Christmas Wish
By HELEN FRAZEE-BOWER
^
I wish -I had been the star that pointed., Down through the long, long years , T o the Christ who should come for sin’s'atone ment— Making an end of tears.
Though all the night had been dark around me, Though other stars grew dims I should have shone with a special splendor-*- Knowing I shone for Him. ~ r
I wish I had been the heart of Mary, " Simple and undefiled—- Waiting the long, long watch with Joseph, .Eager to hold God’s child; Though all the world had been filled with music— Voices the shepherds heard, I should have leaned my ear to hearken Only the Word, the Word. The star and the barn are an ancient story, Clothed in the mists of time; And Mary has gone the way of women, A fter her task sublime; But I am alive, and wishful thinking Happily I dismiss: I am alive to shine and shelter . . . And. there is need of this.
